We have religious people on this forum boasting all the time how they don't read Dawkins and other "atheist authors" as some sort of accomplishment, but it would all save us time if they did because this is something that has been discussed and debunked in all sorts of books. Most notably in dreaded "God Delusion" by Dawkins.
I mean not only would it save us time but religious people would not have to embarrass themselves for being so ignorant.
Here is an excerpt from that scary book to show you what you might know if you read it:

Here is an excerpt from that scary book to show you what you might know if you read it:
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
